Isaac “Bud” Stallworth of Lawrence, Kansas and Robin Smith of St. Louis, Missouri married on 11-12-13 – that’s Tuesday, November 12, 2013. The happy couple chose Robin’s family church All Saint’s Episcopal Church in North St. Louis for the private ceremony. Father Michael Dunnington served as officiate. The bride’s brothers Wayman Flynn Smith, Esq. and Christopher Meaux Smith, Esq. gave the stunning bride away to the enthusiastic groom. The Stallworth’s marriage is the fifth generation of weddings in the bride’s family to be held at All Saint’s.
Robin is one of St. Louis’ most popular anchors (KMOV-4). For you sports aficionados, Bud is a retired NBA player and KU Executive. While at KU (Rock Chalk Jayhawks), Bud scored 50 points against our beloved Mizzou, a record he still holds to this day. During his career he played for the Seattle Supersonics, Denver Rockets and New Orleans Jazz. The newlyweds will retain residences in both Kansas and Missouri. Congratulations and blessings, Robin and Isaac!
The St. Louis chapter of Girl Friends, Inc. revived an old St. Louis GF tradition by hosting a Fall/Summer Picnic at the lovely home of Lannis Hall, M.D. Summer schedules didn’t allow for optimal attendance, so fall it was and members and families enjoyed a memorable afternoon. Teens played popular video games while the adults enjoyed catching up and the St. Louis Rams game of the day.
In addition to Lannis, hostesses were Dianne Powell, Holly Cousins and Kay Royster. A few of the members and guests enjoying the fantastic bar-b-que prepared by Lannis’ Aunt Caterer Doris Roberson and other potluck delights brought by members included Susie and Dale Anderson, MD, Mary Ellen Anderson, PhD., JoAnn Adams, Sandra and Nat Murdock, MD, Clarence and Alison Nash Dula, MD, Billie Jean Randolph, Steve Cousins, Esq., Kelley Powell, Homer Nash, MD, Jeralyn Williams James, Janet Jackson Williams, Chapter President Linda Wilson with hubby Vern, Ingrid Taylor, MD and Judge Charles and Kay Shaw.
The members of St. Louis Paupers enjoyed a “Fly” outing last month. A group trip to view the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis’ presentation of “Fly” based on real life experiences of four Tuskegee Airmen. It was a memorable performance. The group was hosted by members Wanda Ware, Gail Allmon, Angela Brown, Tracy Shepard, Susan Smith, Albernice Fagen, Sheila Word, Geneva Richardson and Dana Scott Saulsberry. It was good to see Steve and Judi Coleman in from Chicago, Don McCullin with lovely daughter Cheryl. Susie Cunningham was escorted by handsome son Joshua Shaw.
Also relishing an outing to see “Fly” were members of St. Louis’ Mound City Medical Forum including President Kenneth Poole Jr., MD, Otha Myles, MD, William Gray, MD, DMD, and David Mosley, MD. This group stays busy and involved in the community. They recently hosted a Healthcare Professionals Networking Happy Hour at Lola. The event was a success and the $25 donation will help to provide funds minority area medical students attending Washington University and St. Louis University Medical Schools. Looking forward to this group’s Christmas offering!
And that’s not all the news from Dr. Kenneth Poole Jr. Congratulations to Kenny and his lovely wife Megan Poole on the birth of their second child, Carter James Poole, born November 11, 2013. Love the name. Sounds like a future politician.
